John Rambo

What's next for a Stallone sequel? Stop or my Mom will Shoot? Judge ~~Dreck~~ Dredd?

Somebody stop him, please! :tongue

The Demolition Geezer?

It just goes to show--fresh ideas and characters are always in demand.

I think the logline for this film is great.

John Rambo goes on a rampage against the system when the admitting nurse at the VA hospital demands his $15 co-pay before allowing treatment for his enlarged prostate to proceed.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. This is a national hero you're talking about. While most of you pinkos cowered under your beds, Rambo was out there fighting for international freedom.

Didn't he fight for the Taliban?

If any film deserves a Spielberg retro-whitewash re-edit it is RAMBO III.

Technically yes, but that was all part of the long-term strategy to make the locals absolutely terrified of soldiers who fight half-naked and covered in baby oil. Unfortunately the plan lies forgotten in a drawer somewhere in the Pentagon.

If any film deserves a Spielberg retro-whitewash re-edit it is RAMBO III.

In a gripping finalé, Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning do absolutely nothing as the Russian tanks suddenly grind to a stop and their gun barrels droop. The scum have been defeated by the one thing they didn't count on: bacteria.

Actually, I enjoyed the Rambo series. I'm certain this will entertain as well.

Hey now. Don't knock it 'til you've seen it.

1) Rocky Balboa was a great movie.

2)The trailer for this movie is the most violent trailer I've ever seen. Awesome.

Honestly, it's not that I think this movie can't be good. It's just that it's kind of funny, to me anyway, that he did the same thing he did with Rocky, and used the character's full name as the movie title.

I am *so* looking out for his next film: "Marion Cobretti."

Inky · Jul 22, 2007

Maybe we could revive Jason & Michael & have a face-off with Rambo?
Hey, Preditor met Alien, so why not?
It's not like Michael & Jason aren't waiting in the wings for part 13.

Thread drift warning. I'd rather see Brigitte Neilsen reprise Red Sonja! Or perhaps it is time I sent der Danish goddess my hack'n'spatter adventure script, written with her unique acting talents in mind: "Varrior Qveen ov der Dansk."

Am I the only one who saw the footage from this on Newsarama a few months back and think it looks fantastic?

ChunkyC · Jul 22, 2007

I find it interesting to see he's doing exactly the same thing with the Rambo francise as he just did with Rocky. He's what, sixty-one now? And here he is glomming onto his most testosterone-laden characters for another go-around. Yes, the movie might well turn out to be entertaining, but I see a man desperate to hold onto his youth, and it seems a little sad to me.

Stallone can act when he wants to. A film like Cop Land showed he actually has some acting chops, but of course the moviegoing public decided that's not how they want to see him. Too bad, because I do think he enjoys doing a wider range of things, judging by his voicing a character in Antz, his part in Spy Kids 3, Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Oscar, etc. And his ability to handle humour is what made Demolition Man so much fun, imho.

Just once before he's done, I'd love to see him take on a real meaty acting role and nail it, show the world he's more than just a muscle-bound action hero.

What ever happened to the Rambo goes after Bin Laden idea?
